Works great. Keeps my feet in place and where they need to be.

Hallo liebes RaceFace Team,
ich war total stolz auf die Atlas Pedalen. Optisch absolut top. Aber: Nach wenigen Kilometern und knapp 1 Jahr (bzw. somit halbe Saison Nutzung) kam dann ein Klack- Geräusch. Erst dachte ich die Kurbel oder Tretlager wäre defekt. Leider war es die linke Pedale. Eingepackt und zurück geschickt und Geld von Amazon zurück bekommen. Ich bin schon wirklich sehr traurig darüber, da ich die Pedalen optisch cool finde, diese auch Grip am Schuh und sich sonst gut angefühlt hatten. Wäre schön, wenn ihr nachbessert und eine verbesserte Version raus bringt, um so die Kunden wieder zu gewinnen! Eigentlich vermisse ich die Pedalen sehr.... ;-) Aber die Robustheit und Haltbarkeit muss eben passen....!

Long story short...Love the pedals, I still think they're overpriced. Can't justify giving five stars honestly.

Me, not the best rider, but I do ride a lot. And I crash fairly frequently, so I always look for durability in components. When I rebuilt my 2012 Cove Gspot last year, I opted for Atlas pedals. In Raceface gear ranging from riding shorts to handlebars, I've been impressed by longevity and performance, plus I aim for BC built gear, and so these pedals were pretty easy to choose. My first big pedal strike crash three weeks ago happened versus a boulder and right away I could feel the pedal was out of round, so I ordered new spindles right away; this didn't fix the problem, so I began to fear the xt crank was bent. Yesterday, I did some deductive work and found, thankfully, the crankset would not have to be replaced, and indeed the pedal platform is bent. So, takeaways from this lesson: Faceface built some very nice performing (weight, feel, predictability is awesome) pedals and if I could afford another set, I would get them. However, because I do crash, it may have been wise to opt for a pedal with a bit more robust construction. Interestingly though, is the potential of a heavier constructed pedal to transfer the pedal strike force into the crank, spindle or bottom bracket, in which case the repair would have been more costly. Just unfortunate the pedal body bent and not the spindle, I wish I could have ridden these bad boys a bit longer....

I have been anxiously waiting for my pedals to arrive and now that I have received and installed them I cringe at the thought of putting my shoes on them. So smooth, so beautiful,a work of art. Worth every penny. 5 stars is not enough.
